POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I AM I BE......that about sums up my philosophy, hope to travel & learn, and write about the experiences from new sights blended with old memories and dubbed by "third eye" insight!
Anti Matter
No need like before Eve feeding Adam
Losing points due to no need having one
Cause would be a deflection from conception
Like adding incentive to endless distraction
Being first would be the last thing to come to mind
Black lives no longer perceived as after little white lies
Amalgamating memories from reliving tragedies
Crying out loud would come from just knowing all sides
Irony is common to everyone sharing their true identity
Punishment is quick to fix all slip and trips away from reality
Aftertaste would no longer depend upon...

Sleepers Lullaby
Night, Night, close them eyes
If you ever want to see revolutions rise
Fighting to see better days realized
Droughts to mind come from no tears inside
So cry out pain and displeasure til freedom reigns
See your contrived world as it is, an imaginary place
Understand this Knight in you is meant for rescue
Material will avail nor prevail over the spirits that bless you
So let the still that is peace to permeate at will
No hope is the curse of daze sent to destroy promise
Strength can not be bought or sold to unawakened souls
Humility is the...

Penny Reigns
Shine is from the change
White collar currency reign
Pitching pence against walls in 7&11s
Solo cup ceelo gamed up in austerity
Brown and shiny herring, looking up staring
No one really cares 2b one, except in multi pairings
Offered as a unsolicited comment, 2 make sense
Miked Pence only good enough 2b Vice President
Clairvoyant when purchased to solicit hidden thoughts
Breaking yourself whenever you are caught without
In doubt to some in sum, sold out for nickels and dimes
Banned by the rich and influential as being...

Sensory Deception
Sensory Deception
Contagious self, looking for wealth
Promised in spiritual all points bulletins
Misconstrued, mashed up and chopped n' screwed
Who you be?
Televising self as tech savvy
Catching selfie moments constantly,
Putting time on blast while rating sights frequently
As your pictionary is analyzed by artificial intelligence
Followings cUltivating put upon off brand relevance
What you look like?
All times of night, to quick to delete what don't look right
Retakes, out takes for goodness sakes you digest media takeout ...

Guild for the Ill
Guild for the Ill
I will, 2b still, killing time, even while flossin’ lines
Minds in place, making faces from sublime, impressed
Happy in digress that contest states, reasons contrive
Looking to polls for strips streaming, controlling undermined
Came up, in tripping on dark spaces flipped on, so instead Sun shines
Lace kaleidoscope, is definitive to my “I”, so one hit after others wonder why?
Just keep on, keeping on in line to see what lies beyond this bend, designs,
Beginning to make sense,...

Analyzing Secrets
Analyzing Secrets
Peep It, Freak it
Don’t look now
Behind closed doors
Screaming out loud
Begging for exposure
Burnt bridges crossed over
Unrequited lovers regret
Unhealthy lust begets,
Going back for one more hit
Can’t forget, what was never told
Spied by others, so it goes….
Out like I’ve been open for business all day
Needing understanding……not defamation
Getting profiled from stories of old, being sold
How I used 2b, rumors got me incarcerated ...

Stroking that kitten
Moving in mangroves
Swung low, to and fro
We see-saw, more and more
Starting on beds, onto floors
Up against trees, till moving leaves
Cool breeze, relieves our openings
Closing shop, pulling shades for days
Still rocking in chairs, groovin’ to sway
Who dat yellin’ til screaming loudest
Let the neighbors knock, to try to stop us!
On to showers, strumming the flower
Water bill rising, til fluids drain out ...

Third World Residence
Creation exists as but strings of pearls
Twirling in matters of consciousness
Holistic and divinely directed hearts, since antiquity
Encoded upon soul sun drenched DNA blessed reflex
This light, turning right on my terrestrial sphere influence
We are a world, contained within astral reflections
Projecting cosmic manifests, as seen thru dark matter views
Our error lies in our propensity to compare journeys’ authenticity
Lesser regarding a diaspora born from an imperial era’s...

Hardships
Streams of consciousness
Casting lines of confidence
Flotsam of consequence
Rough seas invade fair weather
Crosswinds twisting fate
Whims from tempest inflict
Directions mapped precepts
Instructions to life's lost treasures
Quests thru exotic Nether regions
Ports of call temporarily enthrall
Weighted anchors drag sentiment
Flailing against currents expectations
Wishes made upon stars faraway
Dependents of hope travel day by day
Upon such waters, I shall make my way

Mind-Made
I prey
Then
I pray
Centuries slave
Unemployed
Sought for hire
Generational sentiments
Fervent ferment
Distractions invent
Content 2b living rationale
Hell-bent depictions
Inquisitions of self
Poor health due to uncovered wealth
Monolithic convictions
Make believe intentions
Time suspended forms of entertainment
Deranged meant for containment
Homeward bound within its dark recess
Access divine locked a way profound
Stoked embers of matrix'd scenarios
Purposed in holographic visions ...

Other Child
Passions run wild in loving designs
Unbridled pro creations, lasting awhile
Only after a seed is spawn does love leave
Lead to belief that happiness is abound materially
Factors in harsh realities lead to loss in drives
So another child is left to wonder why?
Why did daddy leave? How come he left mommy?
She is always angry inside and thru her pain is embedded birthrights
Seeing a father try to compete from afar in far flung states of mind
Rationalizing that there can be no need outside of assigned support
Carrying no regrets because...

Pulling Strings
Killing us softly with this song
Strumming psyche while faceless
Deep throated influencing whispers
Controlling mass appeal by playlists
Blurred lines that tethers ensign
Pied piping orchestrated dissension
Choices seem to oscillate frequently
Sound bytes to incite or entice audiences
Mic checks to constantly vet listeners
Records to recite or just to hum along too
Between the lines notes of discontent unheard
Plucking nerves tuned to their favorite song
Played again by Sam all the way to King of Siam
This melody is strobed...
